    Your brain functions on the same amount of power as a 10 watt light bulb. But before you start feeling too bright, that's less than a refrigerator bulb.

    And only slightly more than a night light bulb.

    Looks like there's going to be a decent snowstorm tomorrow in the area. So I brought the snowblower inside as it can be kind of "cold blooded" when I first try to fire it up.
    Huh, looks like I had a bunch of random thoughts tonight.
    There still is a lot of Buicks on the road around here, though.

    Sounds like the 'core' memory in the early days of main frames, but on a much smaller scale.

    Will I Live to see 80?
    Here's something to think about.
    I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, He said I was doing fairly well for my age.
    A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'
    He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?' 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
    Then He asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?' 'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'
    'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said.
    He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive motor-cycles, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said...
    He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why do you even give a shit?'
